We want to bring you lots of useful stuff about personalised number plates. This page is still being put together.
We are working on this page to fill it with answers to your questions. In the meantime please contact us if you have a specific question.
Unless you apply to retain your old registration number (DVLA fees apply), the registration number on your vehicle will become 'void'. It's not always necessary to retain your private number plate. If it's a standard one you can let it go. The DVLA will reassign another when you later move your private number plates to your next vehicle.
The DVLA will assign the private number plates to your vehicle, and supply you with replacement documents. They will write to you to confirm.
It takes around 1-3 weeks for the DVLA to process your application.
